Pemerintah Inginkan Calon Direktur Utama Pertamina dari Luar

Jabatan wakil direktur utama akan dihapus.

Kementerian Badan Usaha Milik Negara sebagai pemegang saham PT Pertamina mengusulkan agar posisi direktur utama diisi bukan oleh orang internal perusahaan. “Kami ingin dari luar," kata Deputi Bidang Usaha Jasa Keuangan, Jasa Survei, dan Konsultan Kementerian Badan Usaha Milik Negara, Gatot trihargo. Menurut Gatot, manajemen Pertamina harus solid untuk menjalankan tanggungjawab perusahaan yang makin besar.  “Kami melihat internal harus ditingkatkan sehingga perlu ada penyegaran,” ujarnya.

Menteri BUMN Rini Marini Soemarno mencopot Dwi Soetjipto dan Ahmad Bambang dari posisi Direktur Utama dan Wakil Direktur Utama Pertamina. Pencopotan kedua pejabat Pertamina tersebut karena masalah kepemimpinan dan personalitas. Direktur Gas dan Energi Terbarukan Pertamina, Yenni Andayani, ditunjuk menjadi pelaksana tugas direktur utama.

Dia mengatakan keputusan pemberhentian diambil berdasarkan usul Dewan Komisaris yang menilai masalah kepemimpinan keduanya sudah akut. Sebelum usul diajukan, Dewan telah mengawasi dan mengklarifikasi ke banyak pihak, termasuk kepada Dwi dan Ahmad. Saat keduanya di klarifikasi, Rini mengatakan masing-masing Dwi dan Ahmad mengatakan tidak ada masalah. “Yang satu kalau ditanya menjawab tidak masalah. Satu lagi juga begitu. Tapi ternyata, di dalam pertamina, orang ngomong ada masalah,” tuturnya.

Menurut Rini, sumber masalah adalah kepribadian keduanya, bukan struktur organisasi baru Pertamina. Dia yakin pemimpin yang baik bisa tugasnya menjalankan dalam struktur apa pun. “Di perbankan juga ada wakil direktur, tapi tidak ada masalah,” kata dia.

Komisaris Utama Pertamina, Tanri Abeng, mengatakan pencarian calon dari luar Pertamina menjadi urusan pemegang saham. “Kami sebagai Dewan Komisioner memberikan penilaian,”ujarnya. Tanri berharap posisi direktur utama sudah terisi sebelum 30 hari. Yenni ditunjuk sebagai pelaksana tugas direktur utama, kata Tanri, karena ia paling senior dari segi jabatan.

     Tanri mengatakan, pemegang saham memutuskan menghapus jabatan wakil direktur utama. Jabatan tersebut dinilai sebagai sumber masalah kepemimpinan di Pertamina. “Barangkali nomenklatur ini bagian dari kondisi yang menyebabkan tidak terjadinya kerja sama yang bagus."

Meski jabatan itu dihapus, Tanri mengatakan jumlah direktur akan dipertahankan sembilan orang. "Tapi, yang jelas, tidak akan ada lagi nomenklatur dalam struktur yang namanya Wakil Direktur Utama,” kata dia di Kantor Wakil Presiden. Adapun Wakil Presiden Jusuf Kalla mengatakan direksi Pertamina diganti untuk memperbaiki profesionalisme perusahaan milik negara itu.  Kalla berharap pemegang saham nanti mengangkat orang yang profesional dan memiliki kepemimpinan yang kuat.
